The language of the police in crime novels by Katarzyna Bonda – based on the series with the profiler Hubert Meyer

Summary/Abstract: The aim of this article is to draw attention to the characteristics of the vocabulary of police officers in criminal departments. Because questions of their dialect may be multilat-eral, this paper presents the most typical features of the language of the police officers froma formal point of view, including the way of perceiving and valuing selected elements of thesurrounding reality. As an illustration I will use lexicon material extracted from the crime nov-els by Katarzyna Bonda, author of the crime series with the profiler Hubert Meyer. The nature of the work Hubert Meyer does determines the characteristic of the language that he and his colleagues use in their investigative activities when they talk about reality and its elements.The police language in Bonda’s novels is also a language that police officers use e.g. in their free time. Attached to the work is a glossary of the police language where the individual lexemes, phrases and expressions of the police officers are explained, as well as the novels from which they come.
